THE ELEMENTS HEARTH SPACE

A Community KitchenAt Elements Gathering the kitchen serves as the beating heart of our community. Breakfast and Dinner are served each day supporting our Village in coming together to connect deeply over healthy, robust, nourishing and nurturing food. All meals have vegan/gluten free options and are made with love from consciously sourced ingredients. We believe that breaking bread as a Village is essential to our core vision of creating a consciousness of love, inclusion and interdependence. Participants are asked to bring their own set of reusable utensils and dishware.

About our Head Chef - M Shirey:Born in the shadow of the Devil’s Mountain (true story), M grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area, in a city that had once been walnut orchards as far as the eye could see. A Celtic pagan from age 10, and with a fierce love of the outdoors and cooking delicious food since even younger, it wasn’t hard to see that M’s art and heart magic in this life was hearthwitchery. Creating mindful, intentional, allergy-inclusive, hyper-seasonal nourishment for their loved ones and clients has never stopped being M’s driving force, and they are honored to be nourishing their Elements family in 2017! In addition to being the resident Kitchen Witch and Maestro of Munchies this year, M will be teaching 3 workshops throughout the week: “Processing & Releasing the Stresses of the Muggle World In Order to Be Fully Present at Elements”, “They/Them/Theirs: Using the Singular They To Be Loving & Inclusive”, and “Ravioli Galore!: A 2-Day Lesson on Making Homemade Gluten-Free Vegan Ravioli!”
